David Davis to Resume Negotiating the Canada Plus Trade Agreement

Rejected 18 signatures

What the petition asks

Theresa May's Deal was a colossal failure unpalatable to the British Public. She has wasted 2 years overriding what could have been a successful negotiation by David Davies for a Canada Plus Trade Deal. Bring David Davies back as the lead negotiator with the EU and keep Theresa May out of his way.
Canada Plus brings the UK and Canada into close natural alignment. It allows the UK and Canada to work closely together allowing for a Canada-UK partnership. It is also the only trade deal, to date that maintains enough UK sovereignty, whilst ensuring a sufficient level of trade with the EU. Moreover, this natural alignment can give the framework for a Canada, Australia, New Zealand and United Kingdom (CANZUK) treaty already adopted as the flagship policy by the Canadian Conservative Party.

Why it was rejected

It was about honours or appointments, which petitions cannot cover.

We can't accept petitions about appointments.

We already have a petition about a "Canada Plus" deal.
